This schools is THE WORST middle school to send your kids to.Recently someone close to me has faced bullying at this school and has been suspended many times for defending himself. Another thing is that staff target certain students and hand out punishments for trivial things. The students at this school are HIGHLY disrespectful and curse and call eachother racial slurs ALL day. It’s gotten so bad to the point kids can feel very uncomfortable and unsafe around other kids to the point of walking out of classrooms because of the arguments amongst students which instead of punishment for the 2 arguing they can get suspended just for leaving an uncomfortable space. Also the students are very rude and kids commonly go home crying or reporting bullies only for nothing to get done about it. Also the school caters more to Hispanic and other lighter skinned people which is VERY apparent from the amount of young black girls being dress coded for wearing nearly identical outfits to those of European origins. Another that makes wells middle A VERY uncomfortable poorly educated school is the dress coding of YOUNG minors especially when it comes to the black students and when the staffing is majorly non black it’s even more obvious. Also non black students DO NOT get in trouble for saying racial slurs (n word) out loud whereas black students can face punishment and even suspensions if they say anything to defend themselves. Lastly this school is TERRIBLE at communicating and doesn’t return calls, talk to parents and some of the more uneducated staff even avoid talking to parents by pretending to be on calls when people report they are actually sitting in a lunch room doing nothing.( from an actual situation where a staff kept saying they were in a meeting and then students came and said they were in the lunchroom doing nothing) which is absolutely ridiculous.

My son is in Kindergarten is year. I feel the curriculum is not necessary up to my standards, however, the teacher has always made herself available when I contact her. My son is receiving additional homework, per my request. As a parent, I recourse alternative education material. I have made several visits to the school. One does not get past the common area without picture identification. The principal is always available. One should take some responsibility for the education their child receives. No school is perfect. Spend time with the child.

I went to school here from 1998-2002. It was a good school. Alot has changed since then, mostly the influx of disadvantaged and low income families to the area, which is a tough challenge. Katrina brought alot of the new students to the area where many have come from difficult circumstances. I wish the school all the best, there are certainly many areas to work on.
